Send the guilty monsters directly to Guantanamo Bay for all eternity and let them rot in their own mental squalor.

The “guilty monsters” would be the members of the National Rifle Association, all five million of them. And I agree: this idea is completely awesome! Cuba’s current population is around eleven million, of whom maybe ninety thousand are active military personnel. And I guess we should assume Cuba’s cops are also armed, as well as its (non-government) criminals. That’s what, a quarter million? Half a million, tops. One armed Cuban for every ten NRA members. I like those odds!

Even if Castro the Lesser conscripted and armed every “fit for military service” adult, that’s 3.8 million versus 5 million current gun owners. And who do you think will be the better shots? So, if the NRA does get shipped to Cuba, I volunteer to go as well. We’ll overthrow the repressive government and its supporters and ship them to the U.S. where they can be properly appreciated by cowardly sniveling moron newspaper columnists. Whereupon I will start up the soon-to-be-legendary political group known as The Mojito Party.

Alas, to the detriment of all freedom-loving Cubans, this will never happen. Because, again, statist mice will never be able to bell the cat.

Here’s a fun fact. In my country those “evil assault weapons” are 100% legal. You can get an AR15, or a semi-auto AK, or an AUG with relative ease (I own an AUG myself, it’s a fun gun to shoot.) You can arm up just as easily with multiple guns and it’s all 100% legal. “High capacity mags”? You mean stuff like 100 round drums? 100% legal. Those black rifles? They have an increasing popularity, too. There’s now discussion whether they’re feasible for hunting or not. That’s how popular those “assault weapons” have become.

Right now we have almost 30% of our population legally armed, and that number keeps rising. The number of permits has more than doubled since the late 90s, while the crime with legally owned guns has dropped by more than 50% in the same time. We have a gun culture similar to the US, dating back to the Napoleonic Wars and the guerrilla war some of our people then waged on the French invaders. We have factual uniformed militia in some areas, which is in close contact with our army. They parade in uniform, fly their old flags, even fire their guns (blanks, but these rifles can fire live ammo as well, and military time is a requirement to join.)

And yet… we have no gang violence, no spree killings, no mass shootings. Despite an ever growing number of legally owned guns.

Why is that?

Because guns aren’t the problem. People are. The US society is broken. Ours isn’t. That’s the issue.

You take the guns away from gun violence in the US and you’ll still have a massive violence problem… because your society is broken.

Want proof? Check the UK. The UK has higher gun violence per capita than my country, despite an effective gun ban. LEOs in the UK carry guns and wear bullet proof vests. We, too, carry guns, but we don’t wear vests, because we don’t have criminals packing all the time.

Heck,the UK is the country with most violent crime per capita on the planet. Followed by 8 other EU countries with strict anti-gun laws, and South Africa. Hmmm… How odd is that?
